#!/usr/bin/env python from bs4 import BeautifulSoup from urllib.request import urlopen import sys class AlexaRank: def parser(url): page = urlopen(url) html = page.read().decode("utf-8") soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser") return soup def cleaner(text): clean = text.replace("#", "") clean = clean.replace("\n", "") clean = clean.replace(" ", "") return clean def removewww(domain): name = domain.replace("http://", "") name = name.replace("https://", "") name = name.replace("www.", "") return name def globalrank(url): soup = AlexaRank.parser(url) text = soup.find("p", class_="big data").get_text() rank = AlexaRank.cleaner(text) return rank def countryrank(url): soup = AlexaRank.parser(url) soup = soup.find("div", id="CountryRank") soup = soup.find("li", ) text = soup.find("span", class_="pull-right").get_text() rank = AlexaRank.cleaner(text) return rank if __name__ == '__main__': try: domain = sys.argv[1] except IndexError: raise SystemExit(f"Usage: {sys.argv[0]} <domain_url>") if (domain == '-h') | (domain == '--help'): print(f'Alexa Rank Checker\nUsage: {sys.argv[0]} <domain_url>\nOptions:\n‑h, ‑‑help show this help message and exit') else: domain = AlexaRank.removewww(domain) url = "https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/" + domain try: print(AlexaRank.globalrank(url)) print(AlexaRank.countryrank(url)) except AttributeError: pass |

python app.py codingshiksha.com
Now it will tell the alexa rank of codingshiksha.com
As you can see it has shown the alexa country and global rank of codingshiksha.com
